About the Game

How many times have you found yourself re-reading the same pages all over again because your mind drifted away? Why does this happen? 

The main reason is because your mind does find your day-dreaming more meaningful than the material you read. The reason is - we all have limited working memory capacity and the brain excludes everything it finds irrelevant to make space for the memories which are in favor of your ideas, goals and aspirations. 

At 12min we extract the key insights and greatest ideas from bestselling nonfiction books. Thus, we create unique microbook summaries delivered to you in approximately 12 minutes, both as audio and text. 

How do we create microbooks?

First we learn. 

We learn about what people like and how their brain sorts the information and what it considers as relevant.

We read.

All of us read the original book and highlight the key ideas and insights. Then we summarize what we retained and we create a plan. 

We write.

By using neuroscientific research techniques, our readers define the crucial information and then they simplify it in a way that’s memorable for everyone. Then they deliver the  microbook - a summary that is small in size, but full of amazing ideas and insights found in the original book.

We test.

Our lovely proofreaders are the ones that make sure you enjoy what we created.
